M.S.E. Degree Program Students have several options in pursuing a Master’s degree in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering here:
1. A research-intensive MSE in which students take 6 courses (3-credit hours see below for more details) and undertake original research. The end product of the research is in the form of an MS Essay. This option typically takes 4 semesters and the intervening summer to complete. It can be shorter for students who have begun working on their research project while an undergraduate or for students doing the Co-op program with INBT.
2. A coursework-only degree in which students take 10 graduate-level courses (3 credit hour, see below for more details). This usually can be completed in 2 or 3 semesters.
3. A Chemical Product Design program. This is a new pilot program in 2019-20. 4. A Master of Science in Engineering Management (MSEM). Students can combine courses
in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with those in management; see https://msem.engineering.jhu.edu. This program is administered by the Center for Leadership Education. dn.
1. Master of Science in Engineering (requiring an essay) Checklist □ The student must complete six graduate-level, i.e., 600-level and above, courses approved by the student's research advisor and the Director of the Master’s Program. The student and research advisor will select these courses to design a curriculum appropriate for the student's research interests and educational goals. □ These six courses cannot include seminars, independent study, graduate research or special studies. They should be at least 3 credit hours per course (or equivalent). Students are allowed to substitute any combination of 1-2 credit hour courses (not to include seminars, independent study, graduate research, or special studies) for one of their 3 credit hour courses. Students in the Design track cannot count product design courses toward their course requirements. □ At least four of the six courses must be in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department (540.xxx or 545.xxx). Exceptions to this rule are very rare and must be approved by the Director of the Master’s Program. A course from a department other than ChemBE may be allowed to count as one of the four courses only if the course has significant Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering content, is 3 credit hours (or the student intends to use their one allowable substitution on a set of courses that add up to three credit hours), and is consistent with the student’s research interests or educational goals.
□ Of the four ChemBE courses, 3 must be the MSE core courses:
• 540.630 Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Kinetics (Fall) or 540.671 Advanced Thermodynamics in Practice (Spring). You need approval from the Director of the Master’s program or the instructor to take 540.630.
• 540.652 Advanced Transport Phenomena (Fall), or 540.604 Transport Phenomena in Practice (Spring). You need approval from the Director of the Master’s program or the instructor to take 540.652. • One of the following: a) 540.615 Interfacial Phenomena with Applications to Nanoscale Systems, b) 540.602 Metabolic Engineering, c) 540.673 Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering in Practice (Spring), d) 540.632 Project in Design: Pharmacokinetics, e) 540.638 Advanced topics in Pharmacokinetics. Note: Students without a ChemBE background must consult with the Director of the Master’s program or their academic advisor about their course selection. In most cases, they will have to take undergraduate-level courses in process analysis, thermodynamics, and transport phenomena before taking the graduate courses. Students without a ChemBE background must
5
□ also take Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering in Practice as one of their course core courses.
□ Of the (up to) two non-ChemBE courses, students may choose courses, in conjunction with their advisor, from among the many graduate courses offered through Johns Hopkins from technical or non-technical areas.
□ Students starting in Fall 2019 or later are required to take 1-2 technical or writing courses
offered by the CLE in their second year at JHU. Students who started prior to Fall 2019 are
strongly recommended to take a technical writing course in their second year. These courses
include: Presentations for Graduate Students, EN 663.622, Improving Presentation Skills for
Scientists and Engineers, EN 663.645. Writing Grants and Contracts, EN 663.640 and Writing
Articles and Technical Papers, EN. 663,644. In addition students can also enroll in Culture of
Engineering.
□ Students are allowed to count 400-level courses towards their MSE degree if (1) the course is
not offered at the 600-level and (2) if the department offering the course considers it to be a
graduate-level course in their program. Courses offered at both the 400- and 600-level must be
taken at the 600-level to fulfill MSE course requirements. All ChemBE coursework must be taken
at the 600-level.
□ The student must also enroll in at least one semester of graduate seminars (540.600/601) throughout their tenure.
□ Students must maintain a B average in coursework to complete this degree. □ No D grade in ChemBE courses can be counted toward the requirements. In any given semester, a D, F or two C grades will result in probation (C-, C, and C+ count as a C-grade). Once on probation, any additional C grade will result in termination from the program. A student will remain on academic probation until the courses with the D or F grades have been re-taken for a higher grade or (if no D or F grades were present) the student attains a B average in their coursework.
□ Students must remain in good research standing with their research advisor. Failure to do so will result in probation and transfer to the coursework MSE program.
□ The student must write an essay based on original research and literature review and present their results at an open seminar attended by the faculty and students. The essay must be approved by the departmental graduate committee, which consists of the graduate research advisor and at least one more faculty member from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. More details on the essay are provided below.
□ In a semester where the student is pursuing research (regardless of other academic coursework), the student must maintain full-time registration.
□ Completion of EN500.601
□ Completion of Responsible Conduct of Research training. For complete information, see
eng.jhu.edu/wse/page/conduct-of-research-training * Many departments consider courses numbered 400- and above to be graduate-level courses. Please obtain verification and approval to take the course before registering.
2. Master of Science in Engineering (coursework-only) Checklist □ The student must complete ten graduate-level, i.e., 600-level and above, courses that are approved by the Director of the Master’s program. These courses must be worth 3 credit hours per course. The student and the academic advisor will select these courses to design a curriculum appropriate for the student's interest and educational goals.
□ Of the four ChemBE courses, three must be MSE core courses:
□ One of the following: a) 540.615 Interfacial Phenomena with Applications to Nanoscale Systems, b) 540.602 Metabolic Engineering, c) 540.673 Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering
6
in Practice (Spring), d) 540.632 Project in Design: Pharmacokinetics, e) 540.638 Advanced topics in Pharmacokinetics.
□ Students must maintain a B average in coursework to complete this degree.
□
□ These ten courses cannot include seminars, independent study, graduate research or special studies. □ At least six of the ten courses must be in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department (540.6xx and 545.6xx). Exceptions to this rule must be approved by the Director of the Master’s Program. A course from a department other than ChemBE may be allowed to count as one of the six courses only if the course has significant Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering content and is consistent with the student’s educational goals and is 3 credit hours. Students are allowed to substitute any combination of 1-2 credit hour courses (not to include seminars, independent study, graduate research, or special studies) for one of their 3 credit hour courses.
□ Of the six ChemBE courses, 3 must be the core courses:
• 540.630 Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, and Kinetics (Fall 2018) or 540.671 Advanced Thermodynamics in Practice (Fall 2017)
• 540.604 Transport Phenomena in Practice (Spring) • 540.673 Advanced Chemical Reaction Engineering in Practice (Spring) □ Students without a ChemBE background can consult with the Director of the Master’s program
about the possibility of taking a graduate version of 540.204 Applied Physical Chemistry in the Spring semester if they do not feel prepared for 540.630 □ Of the (up to) 4 non-ChemBE courses, it is recommended that students take 2 technical and 2 non-technical courses, to be chosen in cooperation with their advisor.
□ Students are allowed to count 400-level courses towards their MSE degree if (1) the course is
not offered at the 600-level and (2) if the department offering the course considers it to be a
graduate-level course in their program. Courses offered at both the 400- and 600-level must be
taken at the 600-level to fulfill MSE course requirements. All ChemBE coursework must be taken at
the 600-level. □ The student must also enroll in at least one semester of graduate seminars (540.600/601) throughout his or her tenure in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Johns Hopkins University.
□ Students must have a B average in coursework to complete this degree. □ No D grade in ChemBE courses can be counted toward the requirements. In a given semester, a D, F or two C grades will result in probation. Once on probation, an additional C grade will result in the student being terminated from the program. A student will remain on academic probation until the courses with the D or F grades have been re-taken for a higher grade or (if no D or F grades were present) the student attains a B average in their coursework.
3. INBT Industry Co-Op Program To broaden the practical training for Master of Science and Engineering (MSE) students in the Whiting School of Engineering, INBT collaborates with major industry partners to offer a credited and paid Co-Op opportunity to incoming MSE students in the Materials Science and Engineering and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering programs. ChemBE students have the opportunity to choose the Co-Op program as an alternative to the inter-institutional research or the course-based degree. At the end of the Co-Op internship, the student will complete an essay and present their results at an open seminar. Each student, who is accepted to the program, will be assigned a faculty advisor and a research advisor/mentor at the sponsoring company. The company is expected to develop a list of goals and development objectives for the student. During the 6-month Co-Op period, students will meet with
7
the faculty academic advisor every 6 weeks for progress updates. For more information, please go to: http://inbt.jhu.edu/education/masters/ or contact Camille Mathis at [email protected] or Luke Thorstenson at [email protected].
4. Chemical Product Design tracks This Department is piloting two new options for Master’s students. Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering MSE students doing an Essay and students doing an MSEM can choose to focus on Chemical Product Design rather than on traditional engineering science.
□ Students in the Essay program have the same course requirements as students doing research, but work in a group of 3 or 4 students on a product design project for 3 to 4 semesters instead of doing research.
□ The group collectively writes a patent application and a value proposition for their product in lieu of a traditional research MS Essay.
□ Students in the MSEM program take 3 engineering science courses and typically work on their product design project for 3, or 4 semesters.
The Chemical Product Design tracks (both for the MSE and MSEM) will train you how to develop new products based on chemicals or chemical engineering principles.
□ The first semester will be devoted to exploring how to develop new product ideas and to developing a preliminary product design.
□ The second and subsequent semesters are devoted either to building and refining a working prototype of their product or to doing the proof-of-concept experiments to prove that your product design is viable.
The goal is to get your product to Technology Readiness Level 6 by the end of the program.
5. Research Advisor Selection Process (Essay-based MSE)
Most graduate students do not arrive assigned to a faculty research advisor. The selection and assignment process will take place during the first semester. MSE students wh o a r e interested in pursuing the Essay track must inform the Director of the Master’s program of their interest at the beginning of the Fall semester. A list of available research projects for MSE students will be made available and be updated regularly with filled positions as well as with new projects. It is the responsibility of the student to arrange a meeting with individual faculty members who have projects of interest and openings in their lab. The research advisor assignment is made once a student and faculty mutually agree to work together on a project. The list will be updated as positions are filled. Should a student interested in a lab placement be unable to arrange one by the end of December, the Director of the Master’s Program will work with that student to arrange placements where possible. Students without a research advisor at the start of the spring semester of their first year will be enrolled in the coursework- based MSE. MSE students can do their research with any primary ChemBE faculty or with faculty with secondary appointments. If a student wants to pursue a project with a faculty who is not affiliated with the Department, the student must find a ChemBE primary faculty to sponsor the project. Students should consult with the Director of Master’s study to find a faculty sponsor.
6. Essay Presentation The MSE essay presentation is similar to the Ph.D. thesis defense (without the GBO part). Students, in conjunction with their advisor, will assemble a two-person committee to evaluate the MSE research progress. One member of the committee will be the student’s advisor and the
8
other will be chosen by the advisor from among the ChemBE faculty (or, in cases approved by the director of the MSE program, a faculty member from another department). The essay should be provided to the advisor at least two weeks prior to the presentation date. It will then be presented at an open seminar attended by the committee members, which will be publicized to the department. A reader’s report will be signed by the advisor and submitted with the checklist prior to graduation. There is no closed examination period after the essay presentation.
Students should contact the Academic Program Coordinator at least eight weeks prior to the proposed essay presentation to ensure that all necessary information is exchanged. The coursework portion of the students’ graduation checklist must be approved by the Director of the MSE program prior to the essay presentation. Students should send the abstract and the title of the essay to the Academic Program Coordinator at least two weeks before the presentation date.
International students should contact OIS at least eight weeks in advance of their defense date to ensure that their visa status and application for their EAD card and Optional Practical Training is in place.
Refer to the Guidelines for the Preparation of Dissertations and Theses, which can be found online: http://www.library.jhu.edu/services/cbo/diss.html
7. M.S.E. Proficiency Requirement Students will need to demonstrate proficiency in the core Chemical Engineering subjects of Transport Phenomena, Kinetics, and Thermodynamics to fulfill their MSE degree requirements. This proficiency can be met through taking the three required MSE courses. In special circumstances, and with pre-approval from the Director of the MSE program, other equivalent courses can be used to substitute for the proficiency requirements.
8. B.S/M.S.E. Program Policy on Double-Counting
Students pursing both their undergraduate and master’s degrees in ChemBE at JHU should be aware of the department’s rules on double-counting courses. Up to two courses can be counted for both degrees. For classes offered at both the 400- and 600-level, students MUST take the course at the 600-level to apply the course to their Master’s degree. This cannot be changed after the fact. If B.S./M.S.E. students take more than two 600-level course and do not need them for the B.S. graduation requirements, they can count them toward the completion of their M.S.E. degree. Courses with grades of B- or lower cannot be doubled-counted. The undergrad student must register for the course with a paper registration slip signed by the instructor and submitted to the registrars. Thus, the ChemBE graduate program’s policy on double-counting courses is stricter than the WSE policy found here: eng.jhu.edu/wse/page/graduate-double-counting/
9. Residency requirement
Students pursuing a MSE degree are subject to the WSE residency requirement (https://engineering.jhu.edu/graduate-studies/academic-policies-procedures-graduate/). Every student must register as a full-time graduate student for at least two semesters or satisfy an equivalent requirement approved by the appropriate department. (Concurrent bachelor’s-master’s degree students are exempt, as are those who enter a WSE master’s degree program after two or fewer semesters following completion of a JHU undergraduate degree.)
9
10. Steps for Graduation
o Notify the Academic Program Coordinator before your final semester if you intend to
graduate; scheduling of essay can take up to 6 weeks and other important materials need
to be exchanged.
o Contact OIS if you are an international student. OPT applications must be created
3 months before completion.
o Complete the "Application for Graduation” in SIS by the announced deadline. If the deadline
is missed, a paper form must be filled out at the registrar’s office.
Note: If no "Application for Graduation" is on file in the Registrar's Office, the student will not be included on the degree candidates list signed by the President. Should a student's degree requirement materials be received after the deadlines listed above, that student's name will be added to the next semester's Graduate Board list for completed degree.

ChemBE General Graduate Information ChemBE Graduate Student Conflict Resolution
The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering tries to provide a supportive environment for its graduate students, but occasionally disagreements and problems occur and students may need help in resolving an issue. The department recommends several options to help in finding resolution to such issues:
• The student could talk to their advisor.
• The student could attempt to resolve the conflict by having an in-person conversation with the involved parties. If the student is uncomfortable with this or needs assistance with these discussions, there are faculty members (in addition to the Departmental Head, Paulette Clancy) who are prepared to help and can be contacted for their assistance: ▪ Director, Master’s Program – Joelle Frechette
▪ Director, Graduate Admissions – Efie Kokkoli
Students can also reach out for assistance beyond the department- there are several offices
on the campus that can assist in helping students resolve issues:
▪ Whiting School of Engineering Office of Academic Affairs ▪ GRO (Graduate Representatives Organization)
▪ JHU Counseling Center
▪ JHU Office of Institutional Equity
▪ Office of the Dean of Student Life
▪ Homewood Graduate Affairs and Admissions Office
▪ Office of Student Disability Services
If the situation is serious and cannot be reasonably resolved through any of these options, the Whiting School has a grievance policy, and we will stand with the student to help if a formal complaint is appropriate.
Laboratory Safety
The importance of laboratory safety cannot be overstated. All students are required to complete the safety course prior to beginning work in the lab. This course is offered in the fall and spring semester. Any concurrent BS/MSE students have already taken the undergraduate version of the course, and are not required to take it. It should be noted that the laboratory safety course does not cover everything one needs to know regarding safety in each individual lab, but is intended to create a safety-minded experience through which the student wil l b e a b le to evaluate their own lab for potential safety issues and to determine how he/she would respond in that situation. Students working with either biological hazards and/or radiation are required to take additional appropriate courses through the medical campus.
Annual departmental and university laboratory inspections will be conducted by the departmental faculty safety officer and university safety officer, respectively. Random laboratory checks are also conducted.

Registration
Students are required to register for every semester of study. Registration deadlines will be published by the Registrar well in advance. It is the student’s responsibility to check their account and make sure there are no holds in place to bar registration. For advisor holds, the student should speak to their advisor. For financial holds, the student should contact the Department Administrator. If a student misses the registration deadline, he or she will be responsible for a late fee of $150-$300.
Students register over the summer in order to avoid paying extra FICA taxes. The Academic Program Coordinator will inform students about the procedure and deadlines. Students who miss the deadline will incur a late fee of $50.
Graduate Credit Hours
All courses through the Whiting School of Engineering carry credit hours. Graduate Research carries a flexible credit hour assignment, and students should meet with their advisor to discuss the appropriate number of credit hours in which to enroll for Graduate Research, based on effort and time in the lab. Typically, full-time MSE students will register for 9-10 credit hours per semester and fulltime PhD students will register for 20 credit hours per semester.
